Why? B/c his "success in ministry numbers" were too low.
I'm grateful for groups that help evaluate aspiring pastors but nothing can replace being affirmed by a local church who actually knows the aspiring pastor.
With all due respect, one of the problems in the American church today is that we've valued showy, hip entrepreneurialism over godly, humble faithfulness.
Lord, help us.
He's discipled men and cared for our youth.
He's cared for struggling couples.
He's visited suffering saints.
He loves his family.
He shares the Gospel.
He pastors my soul and the other elders.
Add those #s up if you want.
